Re: i could use some advise Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for. . . I have flown numerous planes (General aviation and 121) to paint shops. As far as I know everything is done in a single paint shop, body, logos, artwork etc.
I'd do a google search for the companies. I don't know if they do all of our planes, but an outfit in Roswell NM does many of them. (RJ and Brasilia. (SkyWest) I have also seen Southwest 737's in their hangers. Let's see. . . .There is a place in Kingman that does work too. In addition check out a place called Evergreen. (They do aircraft storage for the big guys. All kinds of maintenance, A through D checks and painting of course.)
I believe most GA aircraft manufacturers have in-house paintshops. Check the Cessna and Piper websites etc, etc.
I don't have any idea what credentials and experience these places want, but maybe that will at least point you in the general direction.
This stuff seems like it might be more industrial painting and not so much the artsy end of things that it appears you might be looking for. I don't think most paint shops do any flying. Usually someone from the company or owner of the aircraft takes the aircraft to the shop and back.
